In my comments where did I say don't shop around.

All I said is that your attitude sucks, you constantly complain about everything.

If I was a grain or input company I would insert a pain premium for working with you

Grade, Dkg and prot on the same sample should be the exact same at all elevators. The deals should be made in the marketing office.
If not the same there is something wrong with grader lack of training, human error or just trying to beat you.

[farmaholic]

Too many subjective grading factors that open the doors to cheating. Hard not to get ergot right but what constitutes damage regarding fusarium and midge and bran frost, etc....

[farmaholic]

Oops, I mean hard to get ergot wrong.....

[wmoebis]

Agree ergot can be a crap shoot at times. Fus, midge all other objective factors are black and white. Subjective factors, Ie: frost, mil are laid out in the degree of soundness and represented in the official standards.
Problem is how many guys have had proper training on there use.

Bigger problem as I see is how elevators handle your sample and how that can/does scew results.

[wmoebis]

You are right in a way on ergot. 10 different samples from one load can give 10 diff results.

[farmaholic]

To me ergot is very straight forward. Pick out the black shit and weigh it. Its the midge and fuarium that I have problems with.... varying degrees of damage. CGC will see mine before anyone else.

[farmaholic]

Actually, you are right regarding ergot..... I see your point, its the luck of the grab(sampling process). But once its in the sample its pretty obvious what is damage and isn't. That is the point I was trying to make.

Yes got ya!
